Seems to be a problem with the video for "She's My Baby." Unfortunate, as I think that's the one I want to vote for.
Forget "All Those Years Ago" as it looks like a glorified fan video. Some of the images don't match up with the lyrics, etc. As far as "Clud Nine" (as the title card for the video calls it), nice performance but, again, not really my idea of a video. However, it does make me long for a full concert release on DVD.

I voted before watching the videos. I did not see how any of these songs could beat All Those Years Ago. I love the song and the video, I'm a Beatles fan. It's great. Paul's Let it Be rooftop move ends the song perfectly.
This was closer though than I thought it would be. She's My Baby was better than I remembered. Although again, George's part was the weakest.
I liked Cloud Nine. It might had gotten my vote had I watched it first. I not sure I've seen it. Isn't there a DVD with George's Dark Horse box set? If this is one it, I guess I've seen it. I like seeing George play the lead here. So much for him not taking the lead on stage and ripping it.

Feel free to find one you can see at YouTube or other such service--no rule that you have to watch the one I linked for convenience. JcS

Again, there are no rules governing how one votes in these things, but by giving it a couple of days before posting each group, and by leaving them all open until a few days after the final group is posted, it was my hope that the voters would watch those they didn't know before casting a vote.

"All Those Years Ago" is my choice. A nice tribute to John. "Cloud Nine" is pretty good, but not quite the same level. "She's My Baby" is a terrible song. The low point of the Wilbury's output and the video is nothing special with George playing only a minor part.

She's My Baby, though George plays as smaller role vocally like Inside out. However, Cloud Nine is live footage- not a promo video and All Those Years Ago is a "clip" video, which I am not a big fan of.

I never did figure out if that was released as a promo clip for LIVE IN JAPAN, but that's what I thought it was. In any event, it helped me round out the field of 24. JcS

She's My Baby was very disappointing to me when I found out that (once again) George, a lead guitarist, had someone else play the blistering lead.

It is disappointing sayne, however, there are some on here who would have been even more disappointed than you if George did play the Lead Guitar on this song.

The live "Cloud Nine" got my vote. I am sure that the video for ATYA thrilled me in the 1980's on that thing called MTV but now it doesn't.

JcS It is a "released" video and should be included. I'm just saying in my general evaluation I weigh the songs for promotional value, song itself, concepts and do enjoy live or lip synced performsances. Rarely though does a real "live" film coincide with a studio release. I think it was either a promo for the Japan CD, or a clip from the DVD collection.

Now that you mention it, when I researched this tournament for another board a year or so ago, I think the trio of live clips ("Cheer Down" and "Cloud Nine") were from the DVD collection, maybe unique to that set. By that, I mean they weren't released as promo videos for the album at the time, but were rather something to induce a buyer to fork over some money. I didn't... JcS

The scene in the car reminds me of the cute scene at the end of Tracey Ullman' video:

All Those Years Ago for me, too. I just like it better. She's My Baby is good, but George's part is minimal.

In order to generate some discussion: How many of these three videos did you see for the first time while playing this game?
I'd seen "All Those Years Ago," but don't think I'd seen either of the other two before playing this.

I'll join the crowd voting for "All Those Years Ago" because it does best at a union of the song and the video.
